| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Slightly cloudy gold pour, white head. Mostly malt, some grain and light apple, light citrusy hops. Boring and easy drinking.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2009 Small bottle, not turned. Light amber, small creamy off-white head that leaves some lacing. Sweet, yeasty nose. Nothing like as sweet than I remembered - there’s even a hint of the sourness that is more obvious in the green Coopers. Somewhat over-spritzy mouthfeel. The finish is dry more than bitter. This is the old warhorse of real beer in this country. I haven’t had it for a long time and was expecting to thank it for its service but say it shows what low standards we used to have here. But it’s heaps better than I thought it was. popkow (112), New York, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Even white foam over a hazy golden ale. Light aroma of caramel and equally light bitterness. Carbonation was on the soft side providing a thin texture. Boutip (2371), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Bottle: Poured a bright clear golden color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry cereal with light lingering sweetness. Taste is also dominated by some unrefined malt notes and light sweetness with a dry finish with no discernible hops. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing to write home about at the end of the day with a sub-standard malt bill. NielsK (13), Denmark

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Pours hazy gold and cloudy. Has sediment floating around and very carbonated like any coopers brew with bubbles rising to the top. The nose is very sweet and malty with undertones of apple. The taste is apple and tingles the tongue and does settle well on the palate. Has a candy like aftertaste that is peare or apple sour lasting. Papillon (177), Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Updated: Dec 4, 2009375 mL Bottle. Gold body with a fluffy white head that settles to a tenacious foamy layer with ample lacing. Aroma sweet malt with notes of apple, floral, yeast, and faint innuendos of banana, citrus peel, and honey. Sweet malt flavor with a cherry candy aftertaste, a hop bitter lingers in the finish to make it complete. Very smooth in the mouth. This is an unpasteurized bottle-conditioned beer with sediment on the bottom allowing it to show its true character; brownie points for this part. This Real Aussie Ale is a fine brew, mates!
